Police Dog Shot | Governor’s Race Drama | Dismembered Girl Had Been Frozen | Fire Evacuation: SoCal In Brief

LOS ANGELES, CA — As we head into the new week, we've rounded up the stories you may have missed Saturday and Sunday to prepare you for Monday.

But before we jump into Southern California's top stories, residents should know that sunshine and mild weather has returned to the Golden State after storms pummeled the region last week.

Forecasters said Monday morning that Southlanders can look forward to a sunny, albeit windy Thanksgiving before another chance of rain arrives this weekend.

"Dry conditions are expected through at least Friday with above normal temperatures and gusty Santa Ana winds at times from Tuesday through Thursday," the National Weather Service said Monday.

In other news, new details have emerged in the case of a Riverside County teenager who was found dead and dismembered in Los Angeles in an abandoned Tesla owned by musician D4vd. Over the weekend, multiple news outlets reported that all of Celeste Rivas' body parts were “partially frozen” and thawing in the Tesla. Read more about that here.

Meanwhile, the race for California governor next year is already heating up and features former presidential wannabes, a county sheriff, two women who could become the first female to hold the state's highest office, House members current and former, an ex-Cabinet secretary and at least one billionaire with another in the wings. The contest has also been singed by scandal and witnessed one campaign nearly melt down. Read more about that here.
